Factoring Trinomials: a = 1 (Continued)

Question 1

What are the factors of the trinomial? Select two options.

Revolt · Accepted Answer

x – 7; x + 2

Question 2

Which model shows the correct factorization of x2 + 2x – 8?

Revolt · Accepted Answer

An algebra tile configuration. 5 tiles are in the Factor 1 spot: 1 is labeled + x, 4 are labeled +. 3 tiles are in the Factor 2 spot: 1 is labeled + x and 2 are labeled negative. 15 tiles are in the Product spot: 1 is labeled + x squared, 4 are labeled + x, the 2 tiles below + x squared are labeled negative x, and the 8 tiles below the + x tiles are labeled negative.
